The call was initially for reports of a cardiac arrest, but was later confirmed to be for a seizure, Supervisor Leslie Lua added. 

Once on the scene, paramedics administered CPR before requesting an air squad minutes after their arrival, Bennett added.

The child was then taken to nearby Central Park to be airlifted by Copter 14.
